Although based on a cult Japanese animation show Naruto for Xbox 360 is being developed in North America by French publisher Ubisoft. However these guys are Naruto maniacs whose dream has been to realise Naruto’s unique ninja lifestyle as a wildly entertaining videogame. Everything included in Rise of a Ninja is approved by Studio Pierrot, creators of the original animation series. Attention to detail extends to the inclusion of the original voice actors from the TV show, recognisable in every language… and that includes Japanese with subtitles for the purists!
Hell yeah! this was THE only thing that was bothering me about this game! i've never seen the english version and i'm so attached to the japanese language. i can't wait!!

English voice actors for animation are a mixed bag.. some are pretty good.. and sometimes dubs lead to superior translations.. but most of the time they're cheap and lazy and sound bad compared to the original voice actors. Many people watch the anime with the original voices in tact, and that's what they want from the videogame.

Hell, Shenmue wasn't even adapted from anime or anything and that game still had horrible English voices. Many localizations are pretty poor in this regard.. I hope you can play w/ Japanese voices + English subs in Trusty Bell as well.

in the 1UP preview for Eternal Sonata a few weeks back, they said you could play with Japanese voices if you wanted to.

and yeah, you pretty much hit the nail on the hand on why people prefer the original voices.


as for this news in general, awesome to hear. Game keeps getting better and better.

Like Grift said, the original Japanese voices are the best, the English voices are just annoying to be honest...

This is the case with all the latest Animes, the old Animes have good voices but in this time it's like they search for the most horrible voice actors.

I don't know if it's the case with ALL anime, but it's mostly true. There are reasonable English voice actors out there though, ones that work almost exclusively with anime even.. but by in large you're right. English voices mostly suck.

Disney has actually done a stellar job localizing the Ghibli movies.. in some cases a less literal translation is welcome. But that was driven by a huge budget, theatrical releases, and top shelf voice talent (including real.. actors). That's not all that common.

Well.. not only that.. but how bad English voice actors sometimes sound. Sometimes you get people working on localizations who can't seem to be bothered w/ the acting part of voice acting.. and it winds up sounding like someone is just sitting there reading the script without any sort of preparation or care for the part.

Usually the original voice actors do a much better job.. and even when they don't.. perhaps it's more difficult to pick up on that, since I don't know the language.

Most of the Animes that are on Jetix and those kind of networks do mostly a very poor job on the voices. Compared to the animes that were released in the 90's...they have excelent voice actors..Gundam Wing for example was perfect.

It just seems like they use a low budget for it, Disney and Dreamworks use a large budget for it....wich boosts the quality.

Yea.. I'm sure budget has a lot to do with it too.

One thing I will say though.. I hate bad subs just as much as bad dubs. Overly literal translations are bad enough, but some of the fansubs I've seen (mostly bootlegs from Chinatown) are obviously being handled by people who don't really have a firm grasp on the English language.

That's just as bad.

Slayers had very good English voice acting. I didn't have a chance to watch English Naruto, but Polish is laughable. :D

It has a lot to do with how Japanese are more vocal in their expressions. (perhaps eccentric)

Where as in comparison English sounds dull and monotone, when an anime is translated it isn't always easy to translate the same kind of enthusiasm let alone have the same meaning and humor behind whats behind said.

It's not really about having a firm grasp of the English language.

It's about keeping things in context with what is being said on screen in Japanese, not only that some things are hard to translate.

I look at it like this:

Good English VA > Japanese VA > bad English VA

I’d say, it’s the other way around.

Here are some with excellent English VA performances, for anyone who’s interested:
Wolf’s Rain, FLCL (Fooly Cooly), Cowboy Bebop series/movie, Paranoia Agent, Last Exile, RahXephon, Ghost in the Shell SAC+ 2nd GIG/movie, Trigun, Gungrave, The Place Promised in our Early Days, Koi Kaze, Bluesubmarine No. 6, Outlaw Star…
Others worth mentioning are (show and dub-wise):
- Hellsing, Gad Guard, Which Hunter Robin, Full Metal Alchemist, Samurai Champloo, Scrapped Princess, Planetes...

Just to name a few...I haven’t watched a lot of anime though because I don’t think there are many good anime series out there anyway.

But going back to "Naruto: Rise of a Ninja;" as mentioned already, having the Japanese language included should make even more people happy when they pick up the game. It's a nice plus.

Most english voice actors sound like they just wanna get it over with and collect the paycheck.

A japanese voice actor literally puts their heart and soul into a character as if they're entire life revolves around it sometimes and I respect that.

Part of the problem is that the voice acting budget for dubs is low. There are really good Enlgish voice actors, they just don't usually show up on anime (Mark Hamil being somewhat of an exception). You don't see Phil Lamarr, Grey Delise or Tara Strong showing up in dubs. In "domestic" animation (hey everything is animated in Korea now anyway) there are limits on the number of characters to actually keep costs down after the last union contract (a voice actor can provide up to three voices, any more and you need more actors).

i think it boils down to the fact that you can pickup bad english voice acting, and not really bad japanese voice acting. that and the fact that it tends to sound more lively over english dubs.
